It is harder to hit a smaller target......

^ Let's face it, IT IS possible. I'm sure all safety measures went into it, BUT let's not prefabricate the fact that (while YES it is 93x93 ft vs 200x200 ft) if the same strength went into it the building would come down. Remember the twin towers had a reinforced cast concrete tubular 87 feet by 133 feet core (which came down along with the twins). Now 432 Park could literally fit into the core given several feet. Concrete is stronger than steel BUT regular concrete crumbles at 1200+ F. Reinforced concrete is of course used in skyscrapers, but still if hit in a similar targeted fashion then it's entirely possible (but unlikely as many won't have access to this building and it won't be a tourist attraction in that majestic sense).
